Yep same here at 150k... it slowed/stopped for awhile when we replaced the head and gasket ,but, came back after a few break in miles. Nothing major just an occassional puff... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

actually, smoke upon startup and extended idling is going to be from worn valve seals / guides.
very common.
